MOMS HEART MOMS

News and EventsLauren Phelps

Hi Friends,

This month, I am excited to announce a special initiative I have launched with my good friend Sally King Mcbride of The Letternest.

We’ve gathered some of our favorite mom-founded and owned brands to form MOMS heart MOMS: a community of like-minded women coming together with a wholehearted mission to support mothers in need.

This month, we are supporting Welcome Baby USA: a charity committed to supplying new mothers with the supplies they will need for the first four weeks of life.

Join us in a virtual fundraiser running April 12th-May 12th, and follow along for a MAJOR GIVEAWAY in early May! Stay tuned on Instagram for all of the details.

With love and gratitude,

A LOVE FOR MOTHERS

Born out of my postpartum experience. With a great support system, I was still struggling, and my mind kept returning to mothers of various circumstances and how they navigate the immense pressures of the early postpartum days. I also thought a lot about my young mother, who somehow, against all odds, managed to raise me well with so few resources and so little experience. I have a deep love for my fellow moms, and want to do something to give back for all they give their children and the world.

So, together, with some of the most generous women I know, we formed…

MOMS HEART MOMS

MOMS heart MOMS is a community of mom founders and business owners (or mom-founded brands) coming together with a wholehearted mission to support mothers in need. This collective of like-minded women are combining their love, talents and platforms to celebrate motherhood and do something beautiful for their fellow moms. 

Proceeds Benefit

Their mission is as simple as it is critical:

To provide low-income mothers with one package containing all of the items they’ll need for their newborn in the first four weeks of life.

MAMA MOMENTS

MusingsLauren Phelps

I’m passionate about moms and celebrate them every day with my work.

There are everyday moments that seem little but are incredibly big to us as mothers. It could be something as small as a look, gesture, or daily ritual. These moments with our children are almost impossible to capture, even with a camera, and live only in our hearts. 

When I decided to transition my career to fine art, I had no idea what my focus would be, but I did know that art was bringing me closer to my bond and memories I shared with my mother. Becoming a mother to my own two boys has brought me full circle in my career, life, and art. 

My limited edition charcoal sketches were born out of these experiences. I hope that I may create something that resembles the emotion and energy of these moments and the love of this bond. 

Because we can all use more beauty and joy, I am sharing #biglittlemoments from some of my favorite mamas.
